Chapter 1238 How could I fall in love with her
"I think the children of the Nie family are just like that. Nie Yao just has a better education. She didn't grow up in a wealthy family. She doesn't know any rules. She's just a country bumpkin. Hahaha..."
"That's right. I really don't understand why Master Li Jiu would fall for her."
The young female guests were still whispering to each other when someone passed by and said with a half-smile, "Li Jinxing doesn't like Nie Yao, so could he be interested in you guys?"
"You—" A female guest at the head glared at the newcomer with wide eyes, frowned and shouted angrily, "Who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to judge us?"
"I'm nothing, but at least I won't gossip about others behind their backs!" The woman holding the wine glass sneered and looked at them with a bit more contempt.
Some people wanted to step forward to argue, but were stopped by their companions.
"Are you crazy? She's Xia Chuqi, Feng Xun's wife. Do you still want to argue with her?"
"That's right. Madam Feng is quite formidable. Moreover, Master Feng is known for his protectiveness. If we offend his wife, our business will be in jeopardy!"
The group glared unwillingly at Madam Feng Xia Chuqi as she walked away with her wine glasses. Even though they felt very unwilling, they could only complain silently in their hearts.
Accompanied by Li Jinxing, Nie Yao dealt with several guests who came to greet her at the banquet and felt a little bored. Li Jinxing also noticed that she did not like this kind of occasion. He put his arm around her waist and whispered to her, "Yaoyao, should I not let you accompany me to the dinner?"
"Not really, it's just that I haven't adapted yet. I feel like what's said in these situations is all the same..." Nie Yao answered honestly.
Li Jinxing couldn't help but laugh, nodded and said, "That's true. Actually, these business dinners are just exchanges and communication between business people. If the conversation goes well, maybe some cooperation can be negotiated!"
Nie Yao nodded silently and chuckled softly, "I can see that many people are quite excited about you attending this dinner. They all came to greet you..."
Li Jinxing smiled noncommittally and was about to say something when Nie Yao's stomach began to growl with hunger.
"Are you hungry?" Li Jinxing asked hurriedly with concern after hearing this.
"Yes, when I woke up, I found it was a little late, so I didn't eat anything. I changed into the clothes and jewelry you sent and rushed here!" Nie Yao stuck out her tongue and explained in a low voice.
"Luckily, there's a buffet dinner tonight. I'll go with you to eat something..." Li Jinxing suggested with a smile. Nie Yao glanced at someone else walking towards them, shook her head and smiled faintly, "No need. I'll go find something to eat first so I don't interfere with your business. I'll bring you something to eat later!"
Li Jinxing responded with a smile, stroked the back of her head, and watched her walk towards the buffet.
Nie Yao, who had separated from Li Jinxing, came to the buffet table, picked up a plate and began to pick out some of her favorite food and snacks. She tried the flavors one by one, and after she had finished her meal, she went to get some of Li Jinxing's favorite food.
Because she was tasting the food so attentively, she didn't even notice someone approaching until a somewhat unfamiliar female voice reached her ears.
"Miss Nie, do you like the food here?"
"Not bad..." Nie Yao answered honestly, even expressing her own opinion: "But I think the Black Forest cake tastes a bit bitter, and I think the black truffle foie gras seems a bit strong..."
